Wu Sangui was awakened in his sleep.

He didn't even have time to put on his armor, so he went out of the camp at the urging of his own soldiers.

Looking at the soldiers fleeing everywhere, Wu Sangui couldn't believe his eyes.

"Dashuai, it's an enemy attack!"

The soldiers hurriedly explained to Wu Sangui.

"It's an enemy attack, and it shouldn't be like this!"

Wu Sangui blows his beard angrily.

It is true that the Qing army has just been defeated, but in the field battle, the Ming army may not be its own opponent.

At present, the Qing soldiers have really become frightened birds.

The Green Battalion soldiers and Wu Sangui's own soldiers were camped separately. The green battalion soldiers are on the periphery, and the soldiers of the family are on the inside.

At present, most of the routs came from the west, indicating that the main force of the Ming army was in the west.

Wu Sangui hurriedly glanced at it and found that the military discipline of his own soldiers was quite strict, at least he didn't throw away his armor and hug his head like the green battalion soldiers.

Thinking of this, he had the idea of rectifying the soldiers and horses to fight with the Ming army.

"Pass my general's order, and the whole army will be lined up to prepare for the enemy."

"The commander must not, the Ming army sent elephant soldiers to attack the camp this time."

Seeing that Wu Sangui wanted to fight, the soldiers hurriedly dissuaded.

Wu Sangui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Elephant soldiers?

The Ming army actually used this killer move.

Throughout history, the elephant soldiers are probably as terrifying as the Fire Bull Array.

No, the elephants are even more terrifying than the Fire Bull Formation!

Just watching a team of elephants rushing over, the soldiers were even frightened, where did they still have the courage to fight as a team?

What's the difference between that and a moth fighting a fire and a mantis arm as a car?

At this moment, Wu Sangui's heart was cold!

Fighting in a line is undoubtedly a dead end, everything is an ant in front of the elephant soldiers, and the horses will even instinctively flee.

"Dashuai, run quickly, it's too late if you don't leave."

Seeing that Wu Sangui was still hesitating, the soldiers hurriedly reminded.

Although Wu Sangui gritted his teeth with hatred, he also understood that running away was the most correct choice.

There is a way to stay, and the green mountains are not afraid of no firewood. How could Wu Sangui not understand this truth?

In fact, he has always been an extreme egoist, and he has been like this since he saw that the situation was not good and sacrificed Shanhaiguan to let the Qing army enter the customs.

Naturally, it won't change now.

The Kunming fiasco was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Wu Sangui, but he soon found a way to get out of the way.

There is no other way to shirk responsibility.

Wu Sangui decided to put all the blame on Zhao Butai.

Anyway, Zhao Butai has been killed by the Ming army's indiscriminate shelling, and the dead will not defend themselves.

Even if the Qing court knew in their hearts that Wu Sangui was also responsible, they could only accept Wu Sangui's rhetoric, and they couldn't say that they were dumb and bitter.

The reason is that the Qing court is afraid of this army in the hands of Wu Sangui, in other words, Wu Sangui has enough self-protection strength.

This is Wu Sangui's hole card, and even the Qing court did not dare to lift the table easily.

Another reason is that the Qing court is now unavailable.

This is also why Han people such as Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui are increasingly reused.

Controlling Han with Han has been one of the national policies of the Qing court in recent years, and it will certainly not change in the short term.

So as long as Wu Sangui escapes and puts the blame on the dead man Zhao Butai, he can be safe and sound.

In that case, why did he take such a great risk to take the initiative to face it?

It is true that at the beginning, Wu Sangui destroyed the Ming court with the attitude of finishing his work in one battle, but the situation has changed, and now it is a good strategy to raise Kou and self-respect.

Are there fewer examples of cunning rabbits dying and lackeys cooking in history?

With a remnant of the Ming court, Wu Sangui's role will be highlighted.

Can the remnant Ming court turn the tables?

This Wu Sangui absolutely does not believe it.

If the Hongguang Imperial Court still had some possibilities, after all, there was still half of the Ming Dynasty at that time. The entire richest land south of the Yangtze River was also under the rule of the Ming court.

But now there are only two provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan, so if they turn out the flowers, can they still defy the sky?

The Qing court relied on consumption to consume the life and death of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Ming's luck was doomed as early as the moment when Li Dingguo failed to attack Zhaoqing!

In this case, let the remnant Ming court survive for a while.

Soon, Wu Sangui decided to run away.

Under the service of his own soldiers, he quickly turned on his horse and fled with a fierce whip.

The coach ran away, and the soldiers of his family naturally had no reason to stay to meet the enemy. They followed Wu Sangui as soon as possible, for fear that they would be caught up by the Ming army if they ran slowly.

As for the remnants of the Eight Banners left by Zhao Butai, they also reacted quickly and fled for their lives.

Most of the rest are green battalion soldiers.

They are all foot soldiers, they can't run away, and they will die if they fall into the hands of the Ming army, so they are simply ready to fight to the death.

...

...

This is naturally a battle without suspense.

And it does not explain the advantages of the military elephants.

The deterrent effect of the new firecracker (Dreiser) alone makes people's scalps tingle.

In fact, the Ming army did not fire a few shots in total, but the long range and accuracy of this gun shot made the green battalion soldiers have no desire to resist at all.

They threw away their swords and surrendered.

Although he knew that the end of surrender was miserable, he could live a moment longer, and the survival instinct occupied the absolute peak at this moment.

The green battalion soldiers who surrendered soon were tied up by the Ming soldiers.

It is a painful thing to put their fate in the hands of others, but they can only do that.

Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers were captured.

The Ming army can't kill them all, right?

The same problem was thrown in front of Zhu Youlang.

When Li Dingguo reported the news to him, Zhu Youlang was extremely shocked.

"So many captives?"

Zhu Youlang paced, thought for a moment and decided to discuss it with Li Dingguo.

He found that he was not clear about many of the rules of this era, and there was still a lot of room for learning.

"According to the opinion of the King of Jin, what should be done with these captives?"

Li Dingguo naturally expected that the Son of Heaven would ask questions, and he immediately replied: "When I return to Your Majesty, all the officers above the general level will generally be executed, and the rest of the captives will be scattered and divided into various battalions for hard labor for the master." ”

What Li Dingguo said was the most common way to dispose of prisoners in this era. After killing the officer, the remaining ordinary soldiers, even if they have the heart to resist, have no backbone.

"Do you only kill officers?"

Zhu Youlang frowned.

Li Dingguo couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

Listening to His Majesty's tone, don't you want to execute all these tens of thousands of Qing soldiers?

It is definitely not possible to kill so many people with a knife, and if you spend your energy, not to mention, the knife will have to cut the gap.

Normally, in this case, it is a pit killing, which is something that can only be done by Tyranny.

"Your Majesty, please think twice, if you kill the prisoners, I am afraid that it will be difficult to encounter the surrender of the enemy army."

Zhu Youlang saw that Li Dingguo was wrong, so he waved his hand and explained: "That's not what I meant. I think that not only the officers of the Green Battalion deserve to die, but also the veterans who have been imprisoned for a long time and have done a lot of evil. Their hands were stained with the blood of the people and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and the degree of crime was no less than that of those Green Battalion officers and the Eight Banners of Dongyu. ”
